Gautam Gambhir news: ’Can’t play Test match cricket like that’; old video of Geoffrey Boycott trolling Gauti goes viral

Live Mint  

India head coach Gautam Gambhir has been in the headlines for the past few days following India’s loss against New Zealand in the recently-concluded Test series. Ever since Gambhir became the head coach of the Indian senior cricket team, Rohit Sharma’s men lost to Sri Lanka in an ODI series after 27 years before New Zealand registered their first-ever Test series victory last week. However, in an old video which went viral on social media, Geoffrey Boycott heavily criticised Gambhir when India toured England in 2014. A former England international and one of most iconic voices in cricket commentary, Boycott minced no words for Gambhir describing the left-hander as ‘rubbish’.
